Morning of November 8, 1850.
A shocking piece of news came from the German Region, where Prussia and Austria, long at a stalemate, surprisingly went to war in the morning.
Immediately, the Austrian Empire's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Felix Schwarzenberg, appeared in the capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria, Munich, as if he had learned to teleport, and, accompanied by the Bavarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron De Pforten, announced that both the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria had declared war on the Kingdom of Prussia.
This move by Felix Schwarzenberg instantly shocked all sectors of society. Those who thought it was just a covert conflict between Prussia and Austria never imagined that the Austrian Empire would truly act over the Hesse-Kassel Duchy.
